The Russian mercenaries have reduced their activity today. Eight attacks on the Armed Forces of Ukraine positions have been recorded totally.

"Three accurate strikes with 120-mm and 82-mm mortars hit the outskirts of Avdiivka, another two impacted Leninske and Opytne. Besides, our strong points in the vicinity of Leninske and Shyrokyne have been fired at by the militants with grenade launchers, large-caliber machine guns and small arms.

"The ATO forces opened fire in response only once. The attack of the mercenaries on one of the detachments of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the large-caliber machine guns meat a fitting rebuff with the same weapon," the press center informed.
